Seeing that the wind was not in the right direction, the prefect Fan Tong immediately saw the wind making the rudder.

First, he secretly glanced at the other two officials involved in the case, and then cautiously walked to the presiding judge and said with a smile: "Lord Xu, the lower officials have something to say......

"What does Master Fan want to say?"

Fan Bucket instantly turned into a drama spirit, pulled down an old face to make a painful appearance, and even raised his hand to slap himself twice.

"My lord, the lower official is confused, the lower official is blind, he was deceived by Wang Badan, and he has a preconceived idea that Yang Chongshan and Bai Ling are murderers, so ...... So ......"

Fan Bucket knew very well in his heart that since the imperial court sent Qin to send down and arranged for the trial of the three law divisions, then this case would definitely come to light in the end.

Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to fight to the death.

Anyway, now that Lou Ashu and Lan Cuihua are missing, and Wang Badan, the county commander who first tried the case, has also been imprisoned, it is still a question whether this guy can come back to life.

Therefore, while the final result has not yet been judged, it is better to take the initiative, admit your mistake first, and then start to throw the pot, and throw all the pots to Lou Ashu's pair of dog men and women and Wang Badan.

In this way, some initiative can be taken back.

Of course, Fan Bucket knew in his heart that it was absolutely impossible to get out of the way, and he would definitely have to bear the responsibility.

But as long as the pot is shaken off, at least you can avoid prison, and it's a big deal to lose your official position and return to your hometown, anyway, you have made enough money over the years, and you can enjoy Qingfu when you return to your hometown.

Hearing Fan Bucket's explanation, the presiding judge looked sideways and said, "So, Lord Fan used a heavy sentence to force Yang Chongshan and the others to admit their guilt?" ”

Fan Bucket said with a sneering face: "This ...... Cough, Lord Xu, the lower officials are indeed derelict in their duties...... However, this time, the lower officials will fully cooperate with the three adults to find out the truth.

At present, it seems that Na Lou Ashu and Lan Cuihua are the most suspicious, and it is very likely that the two of them are planting the blame.

Therefore, Xia Guan suggested that it would be better to send someone to detain the two of them in court and confront Yang Chongshan and Zhu Bai's in court? ”

"Well, Lou Ashu and the others are indeed very suspicious......

The presiding judge nodded, then threw down a signature and shouted: "Come on, go to Lou Ashu and Yang Lan's court!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

The hall answered, and several guards turned around and walked out of the court.

Looking at the backs of several guards, Fan Bucket's heart jumped for some reason, and he faintly felt that something was wrong.

"Master Fan, what are you still doing standing here? Get back to your seat. ”

"Yes, yes, the lower official will go back, this will go back......"

Fan Bucket lost his soul and returned to his seat on the side.

"Lord Prefect, I have secretly sent people to look for them separately, but I didn't find Lou Ashu and the others, so I must have fled, so I don't have to worry."

The pusher sitting on the side whispered.

"Hopefully......"

Fan Bucket sighed.

The result didn't wait long, hopefully...... Completely shattered!

Because the guards who left before actually dragged a man and a woman to the public court like dead dogs...... It was Lou Ashu and Lan Cuihua, who had been missing for several days.

The dog man and woman did not flee at all, but were secretly detained in advance.

At that time, when Emperor Yongping summoned the secretary of the Criminal Department, he had already shown him the pleadings written by Gu Ming.

As soon as Shangshu of the Criminal Department returned, he had secretly sent people to leave Beijing as soon as possible and start acting in advance, in case someone jumped over the wall in a hurry and killed people.

Seeing Lou Ashu and Lan Cuihua being brought to court, Fan Bucket almost fainted on the spot......

He knew it was all over!

Subsequently, the presiding judge summoned several witnesses one after another, and these people were the subordinates of the Yang Mansion and the maid of Lan Cuihua's mother's family.

After some face-to-face confrontation, the truth of the matter finally began to surface.

As soon as those subordinates came to the court, they were frightened, and they didn't need to be punished at all, so they began to confess at 1510.

Of course, they were not involved in the case, but only revealed some secret things in court......

Yang Chongshan could guess that there was definitely a cat between his wife Lan Cuihua and his godbrother Lou Ashu, but he was reluctant to break it and face it for the sake of face.

But now, I heard a few subordinates confess that before that, Lan Cuihua often went back to her parents' house to have private meetings with Lou Ashu.

Up and down the Lan Mansion, including Lan Cuihua's father and mother, knew about it, but everyone pretended to be confused.

After Yang Chongshan was detained, the two were even more unscrupulous, and Lou Ashu actually came to Yang's mansion every now and then......

On the surface, it is a pair of godsisters and brothers, but secretly, who doesn't know the private relationship between the two?

It's just that how dare people talk too much?

"Smack!"

After a few subordinates narrated, the presiding judge slapped the shocked wood and shouted at Lou Ashu: "Lou Ashu, what else do you have to quibble?" ”

"Adult, villain...... The villain knows his mistakes......"

Lou Ashu knew that it was useless to deny it, because almost everyone in the two families knew about it, so they simply recognized it.

According to his confession, when he first came to the Lan family, he just wanted to show off, but he accidentally saw the amorous orchid cuihua, and his heart couldn't help but start to move.

This kid has been messing around in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has developed a good pair of eyesight, and he can see the restless nature in Lan Cuihua's bones at a glance.

So, they began to approach under the pretext.

The dry firewood met the fire, and the thunder of the sky hooked the fire of the earth, and the result can be imagined.

"My lord, the villain admits that he has a personal affair with Lan Cuihua, but he is just greedy for temporary pleasure, how can he kill such an irrelevant person as Zhu Dazhuang for no reason?"

The presiding judge smiled coldly, and then asked Lan Cuihua, "Yang Lan, can you plead guilty?" ”

"My lord, the folk girl is guilty, but the folk girl did not harm anyone.

My father-in-law also said that he had a physical problem, so the people ...... Only the women of the people will ......"

"Bang!"

The presiding judge slapped the shocked wood and said angrily: "Hugh has to quibble, this official reminds you that just because you have a relationship with Lou Ashu, this official can sentence you to the punishment of riding a wooden donkey on the street......"

As soon as these words came out, Lan Cuihua was so frightened that she begged for mercy loudly: "My lord, the people are guilty, the people are guilty, I beg the adults to spare their lives......"

Riding a wooden donkey was a distorted torture, and it had to be stripped naked for a street parade.

After a street tour, even if you are lucky enough to survive, I am afraid that you will not be able to see people in the future.

"This official advises you to be honest!"

"My lord, the people are really wronged, and there is really no ...... to kill"

"Okay, it seems that you dog men and women really don't cry when they don't see the coffin, come and present evidence."

"Yes!"

Soon, the evidence was presented.

"Two adults, you also see, this is the medicine residue that Zhu Bai's boiled at the beginning, and it was this medicine that made Zhu Dazhuang die."

The presiding judge had the residue held and presented to the other two jurors.

"Oh? Lord Xu, what is the reputation of this medicine scum? ”

In fact, the three officials who tried the case had already known in their hearts, and now it was nothing more than a formality.

"After investigation, the formula of this medicine is the same home remedies that Yang Chongshan often takes......"

"Huh?"

Yang Chongshan couldn't help but be surprised.

However, this home remedy deliberately increased the dosage of the medicine, which was four or five times as much.

In addition, Zhu Dazhuang was sick at the time and his body was weak, so how could he withstand such a violent effect, so he ...... will be out of control. ”

"My lord, the people's daughter...... The folk girl has something to say. ”

Bai Ling couldn't help but purse his lips.

"Accurate!"

"My lord, the medicine was handed over to the folk girl by Master Yang after he was ready, and the folk girl began to boil it after taking it home, and after boiling it, she gave it to the princess to drink.

However, the folk girl believed that it was impossible for Master Yang to deliberately dispense such a medicine, and the folk girl would never change the medicine without harmless public intentions. ”

"That's right, you didn't change the dressing, and Yang Chongshan didn't deliberately prepare life-threatening medicine.

So what's going on with this dregs? Someone must have secretly changed the decoction when you were unprepared. ”

"Huh?"

Bai Ling was stunned, and then seemed to remember something......

She was boiling medicine in the house that day when she suddenly heard someone outside shouting that there was a fire.

She was shocked, and hurriedly went out to look, only to find that there was really smoke outside, and the neighbors also came out to find the source of the fire.

It turned out that I don't know who lit a pile of grass in the alley, but fortunately, the grass was a little wet and did not ignite a fire, and everyone quickly extinguished the fire.

After that, Bai Ling returned home to continue boiling medicine.

She didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now that she looks back on it, it is indeed suspicious, maybe someone deliberately used it to lure her away.

So, Bai Ling talked about it.

"Well, that's right. The murderer has been planning this for a long time, deliberately setting a fire while you are decocting the medicine, and then roaring outside to lure you out.

As soon as you go out, the killer sneaks into the house to change the medicine.

After all, you are a layman in terms of medical skills, and even if you change the medicine, you don't know anything at all, so the murderer thinks he is doing something unaware.

It's a pity that paper can't contain the fire after all...... Bring witnesses! ”

"Yes!"

Soon, a man who looked like a guy was brought to court.

"Villain Ah Jin knocks to meet all the adults!"

"Ah Jin, look at this court, is there anyone you want to testify?"

"Yes, sir!"

Ah Jin glanced at it, then pointed at Lou Ashu and said, "That's right, it's him!" That day, the villain saw the man throw a small jar into the bamboo bush. ”

"What day is it?"

"It was the day of the fire in Xiaoliu Alley, because the villain's home was in the alley, so I remember it very clearly.

The inn where the villain works is not far from home, and someone told me that there seems to be a fire in my alley, so the villain hurriedly ran back.

As a result, on the way back, I accidentally saw this person throwing a small jar, and I was curious and went up to take a look, and found that it contained medicine residue, and it was steaming......"

It's a coincidence.

Before the inquisitor and his party left, they had secretly sent several of their men to arrive early, and two of them stayed at the inn where Ah Jin worked.

After Ah Jin returned to the inn, he inadvertently broke up the matter with another gang.

This is because there is a local custom that if there is a patient who has been ill for a long time, the leftover medicine residue of the patient will be poured on the road for pedestrians to step on, and it is said that this will make the patient get better quickly.

But Ah Jin saw that Lou Ashu threw the medicine residue and the jar together, and also threw it into a bamboo bush, which was a little confusing......

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.

The two subordinates found Ah Jin under the pretext of going to him, and after some side and side inquiries, they finally found the medicine jar.

"Okay......"

When Ah Jin finished telling what had happened, the presiding judge waved his hand and motioned for him to stand down, and then asked Yang Chongshan: "Yang Chongshan, do you still remember the herbal formula you gave to Zhu Bai's at that time?" ”

"Back to my lord, I naturally remember."

"Very well, then you can write it now...... Come on, get pen and paper! ”

Waiting for the pen and paper to be fetched, Yang Chongshan wrote out the recipe for the potion that he had given to Bai Ling before.

"Okay, everyone, this official still has a prescription here, which is the prescription analyzed by Dr. Wang who accompanied him this time based on the medicine residue thrown away by Lou Ashu, and now I will compare the two prescriptions in the hall."

Two prescriptions come together and compare ......

"Huh? The herbs and the ratio are almost the same. ”

"That's right, it's almost the same, and Dr. Wang also said that the medicine on this formula is a normal formula, without a trace of toxicity, and it will not be fatal for anyone to drink it.

Then we can now be sure that the medicine that was thrown away by Lou Ashu is the medicine prescribed by Yang Chongshan.

And what Zhu Dazhuang drank was a deadly poison that was stolen! ”

"My lord, wronged, wronged!"

Lou Ashu never expected that a well-designed conspiracy would be exposed like this, but he still shouted loudly.

"Smack!"

The presiding judge slapped the wood in shock.

"Lou Ashu, no matter how much you quibble, it is useless for you to quibble, just with the current evidence, this official is enough to convict you of a capital crime.

However, there are still some people involved in this case, and the case is not yet closed...... Bring witnesses! ”

And witnesses?

Lou Ashu and Lan Cuihua couldn't help but look stupid.

"Adult, wronged, wronged, villain just acted on orders......"

With a wail, a man in a military uniform was pulled into the courtroom.

As soon as he saw this person, Lou Ashu's heart was even cooler.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a special prescription that caused Zhu Dazhuang's violent death, called Epimedium Weed, which cannot be found in ordinary pharmacies.

It is precisely because of this that we grasped this clue and finally found a breakthrough point in a pharmacy in Xinping County.

This man once went to the pharmacy to dispense a pair of medicines, and among them was epimedium.

The important thing is that although the medicine he grabbed was not all the formulas, the flavors he caught were completely consistent with the flavors that caused Zhu Dazhuang's violent death.

What's even more coincidental is that this person is Lou Ashu's subordinate......"

"Adult, the villain is wronged, the villain is just Fenglou...... Lou Ashu was ordered to grab the medicine, but he didn't know what the medicine was used for. ”

"Alright, take it down......"

The presiding judge waved his hand, and then shouted at Lou Ashu: "Now that the human and physical evidence are complete, what else do you have to argue?" ”

Of course, Lou Ashu had nothing to argue about, so he simply began to shake the pot: "My lord, it's all Lan Cuihua's idea from this slut......

"Lou Ashu, you spew blood, you conscienceless ......"

Under the court, a pair of dog men and women began to eat dogs.

"Smack! Roaring in court, coming, torture! ”

As soon as they were sentenced, the dog man and woman finally began to confess obediently.

At this point, the truth of the case really surfaced.

In the final analysis, it was because of Lan Cuihua's greed and indulgence that finally led the wolf into the house.

Of course, Yang Chongshan's good face and his so-called forbearance and humiliation still account for a huge factor, if he could make a decision at that time and break off with Lan Cuihua, it would not cause disaster in the future.

The reason why Lou Ashu is obsessed with orchid flowers is because he has always liked to be more mature, and secondly, orchid flowers do have some beauty and charm.

Coupled with Yang Chongshan's body, this woman is like a fish trapped in shallow water and returned to the river, making Lou Ashu feel like going to the sky.

However, Lou Ashu is a prodigal son who has run oil in the rivers and lakes after all, and as soon as the freshness passes, he begins to mess with flowers and grass everywhere.

In this way, Lan Cuihua is a little unhappy.

She is not greedy for temporary pleasure, but wants to keep Lou Ashu firmly by her side, so as not to fly one day.

But she knows very well in her heart that she is also a woman in her thirties after all, and if she is one of those who has been doing farm work for many years, where can she still have any appearance at her age?

Some even look like old ladies.

Although she is still a little bit beautiful now, age is her shortcoming after all.

After thinking about it, she thought that it was impossible to tie Lou Ashu's heart, but the person who tied him ...... It shouldn't be a big problem.

Because she has one more advantage: silver!

Although Yang Chongshan is just a lifter, the Yang family has accumulated for several generations, and the family still has a lot of land and savings.

Therefore, Lan Cuihua began to buy Lou Ashu with silver.

But this woman is very cunning, she uses a way of putting a long line to catch big fish, you Lou Ashu comes, the old lady will give you silver, if you don't come, there will be no silver.

But her approach also made Lou Ashu's mentality begin to change.

At first, the purpose was simple, just to have fun, but then I began to realize that this woman was not only fun, but also rich......

As a result, Lou Ashu became more attentive, and said sweetly to make Lan Cuihua happy.

Although Lan Cuihua is a scheming woman, how can she be Lou Ashu's opponent?

What kind of wishful thinking she made Lou Ashu knew very well in her heart, so she planned to let Lan Cuihua fall into it step by step.

Lan Cuihua thinks about the people who get Lou Ashu, but Lou Ashu thinks about people, hearts, and wealth...... It can be described as greedy.

Both sides have their own minds and develop in the direction they want.

But unexpectedly, the appearance of Bai Ling made all this a subtle change.

At first, Lan Cuihua didn't care, but she was a little happy.

Because she was eating secretly outside, her heart was a little weak after all......

She knew very well in her heart that her husband was not a fool or a blind person, and she must have been aware of her and Lou Ashu's affair, but she endured it for the sake of face, so as not to spread the word and ruin her reputation.

But what if one day you can't bear it anymore and you have to tear your face?

Therefore, when she found that there seemed to be some ambiguity between her husband and Bai Ling, she finally found an excuse for her actions, and the only bit of guilt she had was swept away.

In short, her psychology is to play their own games and not interfere with each other. Hello, I'm happy, everyone, you're happy, I'm happy, everyone's happy......
